Arindam retells a well-known story of Nachiketa, a little boy, who faced Death (Yama) fearlessly to realise the deeper mysteries of death and life. This story from Katha Upanishad predates the Puranas and our two epics, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata. Nachiketa, sees light, is freed Avidya, and as a disciple of Yama, understands the deeper meanings of life and death. Let us bow in respect to the wisdom of a little boy. He brought light to our lives. This story is part of the special feature on Diwali, exclusively in Different Truths.
All Hindu festivals have many stories woven around them. One such mythical tale, from the Katha Upanishad (c. 5 th century BCE), the dialogue between Nachiketa and Yama, the Lord of Death, has always fascinated me. Could it be possibly because of the father-son contestations that springs up time and again in our scriptures – am not sure!
Before I narrate the well-known story, allow me to digress a bit. Mythical tales have been told and retold by countless people, down the ages. The oral traditions that kept our scriptures alive, before these were written and preserved as manuscripts, had undergone many changes. There have been interpolations. It's often difficult to know the 'correct or exact story' – to me all are correct. The elders in my home told me that Nachiketa met Yama, the night before Diwali (celebrated as Chhoti Diwali in North India and the lighting of 14 pradeep/diyas in Bengal). My later research shows that it is associated with the Amavasya (New Moon) night of Diwali. Such a slender margin of error of an ancient tale, about 26 centuries ago, is negligible. Both are, therefore, true to me.
Yet another variation is in the age of the young lad, Nachiketa. While most versions state that he was 16-year- old when he left home to meet Yama, few others believe that he was just 14-year-old. Yet another version suggests that he was merely 5-year- old. Though I wish to believe that he was a teenager, I would allow you to accept any of the three ages that you prefer.
Let me retell the story to you.
Sage Vajashravas was performing a yagya, wherein he was to give away all his earthly wealth and possessions. The act of daan (giving away wealth in charity) epitomises detachment. Large number of sages and seers had come to that yagya. Nachiketa, Vajashravas' son, was standing nearby. He was sad that his learned father was duping the holy men, in the name of charity. Vajashravas was picking out old, lame, one-eyed, blind and daan.
Nachiketa realised that his father was still caught in the trappings of maya and moha (illusions and delusions). The little boy understood that such a yagya was futile. This act of Vajashravas would bring dishonor to the entire clan.
He started pestering his father, "I am one of your dearest possessions. To which God will you offer me?" In a fit of rage, Vajashravas said, "I will give you to the Lord of Death." There was a pall of shock and silence. How could a father say such a thing! The rishis left.
Meanwhile, Vajashravas realised his great folly. He sought Nachiketa's forgiveness. Words that are uttered have been likened to the arrows that leave the quiver. Both, once released, cannot be withdrawn.
Nachiketa was polite, humble yet firm as a rock. Nothing could dissuade him. He left his father's home, bidding his elders goodbye. He told his father that their ancestors never went back on their words. He too, thus, should allow him to go the gateway of the heavens. With a heavy heart, Sage Vajashravas, gave him to permission to follow his quest for Truth.
After an arduous journey, Nachiketa reached Yama's abode. But, the Lord of Death was away. With single minded devotion, without food and water, Nachiketa waited patiently.
On his return, on Karthik Amavasya (New Moon of Diwali), Yama was touched by this little boy's resolute devotion. He was sad that there was no one to welcome Nachiketa. He granted the lad three boons.
Nachiketa told Yama that his three boons would be thus. The first would be for his father and family. The second boon would be for all people and the last, for himself. Yama nodded in agreement.
His first wish was that his father be given wealth and prosperity and that he should be made the king. Yama granted it. His second wish was that how could people reach heaven when there is no sorrow, old age or death? Yama was pleased that the little boy did not ask anything for himself but had the welfare of people in mind. Yama talked of Karma and the various yagyas, the value of detachment that would help people to escape from the causal chain of rebirths – of many lives and many deaths.
The third and last question of Nachiketa surprised Yama. The little boy wanted to know the secret of death itself. Yama persuaded him to take back that question. The Lord of Death lured him with many gifts and temptations that are not within the ambit of human pleasure. But, Nachiketa was firm.
At one point, Yama said, "Even Gods do not know the answer to this question, how will you know?" Nachiketa reasoned even if Gods did not have an answer to the mystery of death, the Lord of Death certainly knew it. At last, Yama gave in to his single-minded devotion.
Nachiketa reasoned that the material world is transient and ephemeral. All wealth and boons are of no value to a dead person. He cannot take any of it with him. All these Yama had explained, in reply to his second question.
Pleasantly surprised and pleased with the little lad, Yama's reply is the essence of the Upanishad, and therefore, Hinduism. He dwelled on the nature of the true Self (soul) that persisted beyond death. Self (soul) cannot be separated from the Brahman (mind or 'Supreme Intelligence' as Shree Aurobindo explains). The vital force of the Universe is the Supreme Spirit.
Yama, Nachiketa's Guru (Great Master) elaborated and explained that 'Om' is not just few syllables or sound. It is the omnipresent Brahman (mind or Supreme Intelligence). Soul is formless – it is smaller than the smallest and larger than the largest – it's all pervading. The Wise wish to know the meaning of the Soul. That's the very goal of the wise one.
Yama then said that a Soul may be likened to a rider. The five senses are is horses. It is the Soul that guides the horses (senses). After death, it is the Soul that remains; the Soul is immortal.
The delusion of the intellectual is that by just reading and learning the scriptures, he cannot realise the Soul. He must be able to discriminate the Soul from the body that seeks nothing but desires. Lastly, Man's inability to realise the Supreme Intelligence (Brahman) makes him get caught in the cycle of rebirths (cause of many sufferings). When one understands his true Self (soul) is he freed from the causality and the chains of rebirths. And that is true Moksha (salvation).
Nachiketa, sees light, is freed Avidya, and as a disciple of Yama, understands the deeper meanings of life and death. Let us bow in respect to the wisdom of a little boy. He brought light to our lives.
Without the knowledge of death, which is dark, one cannot light the lamp of Vidya in his Self (soul) and Brahman (mind). This, in essence, is the lesson of Diwali.
Let's chant the mantra that leads us from darkness to light, from ignorance to wisdom, from sufferings and deaths to salvation (Amritam):

If you hadn't heard, pre orders for the Lumia 1020 from Telstra were abruptly pulled, cancelled, and folks were offered a free Lumia 520 in compensation. Now there has been no real explanation as to why the launch scheduled for the 17th of September was cancelled, except for some cryptic mention of "Bugs". Telstra stated that they had issues with the Nokia software, but nothing specific. Of course the phone has been available from Harvey Norman, Optus and AllPhones in the meantime, so it has taken a bit of the bite out of the Telstra launch. When questioning on Twitter I received a reply from Telstra in two parts,
Now I haven't heard anything back from @Telstra yet, but there is some good news from @NokiaAustralia that popped up on their Facebook page this evening. Looks like the 1020 will be available in Telstra stores on the 15th of October, although there is no announcement on the Telstra online store just yet. Expect another pre-order announcement soon.

If the hydraulic system compared to human torso, then the hydraulic oil is quite human blood, in the hydraulic system, the hydraulic oil plays a role in energy transmission, system lubrication, corrosion, rust, cooling, hydraulic system can effectively work, and The choice of hydraulic oil varieties and viscosity are closely related. Therefore, understanding the performance of hydraulic oil and the correct selection is very necessary.
A hydraulic oil code, composition and characteristics:
HL universal machine oil, with anti-rust, anti-oxidation CNC punching machines properties of refined mineral lubricants
HM anti-wear hydraulic oil, with anti-rust anti-oxidation, anti-wear properties of refined mineral lubricants
HV low-temperature hydraulic oil, with anti-rust, anti-oxidation, anti-wear properties, plus viscosity of refined mineral lubricants
HG hydraulic rail oil, with rust and oxidation resistance, anti-wear and anti-stickiness of refined mineral lubricants
HS synthetic hydrocarbon low-temperature hydraulic oil, with anti-rust anti-oxidation, anti-wear properties of synthetic hydrocarbon oil.
Two hydraulic oil species selection
1, according to the hydraulic system of working pressure selection. Different working pressure on the quality of hydraulic oil requirements are different, the system working pressure increases, requiring anti-wear hydraulic oil, anti-oxidation, anti-foam and anti-emulsifying and hydrolysis stability notching machine and other properties should be improved. At the same time, in order to prevent the increase of pressure caused by leakage, hydraulic oil viscosity should be a corresponding increase; the other hand, select the low viscosity hydraulic oil.
2, according to the use of ambient temperature selection. In the high temperature or near the heat source of the machinery, should be preferred viscosity and high temperature (oil viscosity changes with temperature, viscosity-temperature) of the oil or flame retardant oil. In poor working conditions, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the system, to use viscosity-temperature characteristics, thermal stability, lubrication and anti-corrosion properties such as good oil.
3, according to the sealing material selection. The sealing material of the hydraulic device is compatible with the oil used in the system. Otherwise, the seal will expand, shrink, erode and dissolve in the system, which will result in the degradation of the system performance. For example, HM antiwear hydraulic oil CNC Steel pipe welding machine and natural rubber, butyl rubber , Ethylene rubber, silicone rubber and other poor compatibility, which in actual use which is to be taken seriously.
Three hydraulic oil viscosity choice
Select the appropriate viscosity hydraulic oil. High temperature and high pressure system to use high viscosity hydraulic oil, so you can get better lubrication, on the contrary, low temperature and low pressure system, should use low viscosity hydraulic oil, which can reduce energy consumption. In particular, the viscosity is too high, good for lubrication, but increase the system resistance and pressure loss, resulting in increased power loss, oil temperature rise, hydraulic instability, noise, etc .; too high viscosity will cause the pump Low temperature start cnc drilling machine oil absorption difficulties, or even cause low temperature start interruption of fuel supply, the occurrence of equipment failure. On the contrary, when the hydraulic system viscosity is too low, it will increase the hydraulic equipment, internal and external leakage, hydraulic system pressure instability or pressure drop, severe pump will lead to abnormal wear and tear.

Ever thought about muscle building? May be one time you did but life go in the way. When you want to build a bigger stronger body, there are certain challenges that you'll face and need to overcome.
To be successful at bodybuilding you need to be disciplined and focused.
Here are a few tips to help you increase muscle size, endurance and strength:
1. Kick-start Workouts with Chin-ups
This workout exercise isn't something that is easy to kick-start your session, but it's worth it. Most guys face difficulties in doing even about ten of them especially during the first few days because they are tough to do.
It's necessary that you consider including the chin ups in your daily warm-ups routines. You may not realize it, but over time chin ups can help you build super strength and endurance. Its a a great exercise to boost natural testosterone levels in the body.
What most people do not know is that the body weight exercises play a very central role in increasing the strength of an individual.
2. Use a Quality Bulking Stack
In the end, there is an alternative of the supplement. There are supplements that are specifically meant for an increment of muscles. They have been popularized and embraced by most people.
In most cases the best bulking stacks include Dianabol (Dbol) testosterone and deca durabolin. Because of their popularity there is a massive range available. When finding the best Dbol for sale make sure you use your due diligence to avoid being ripped off.
There are top quality steroid alternative supplements that have been proved to be safe for use. They promote the growth of hormones that stimulate the growth of the muscles and as well as strength.
3. Do Drop Sets to Increase Strength and Mass
Without doubt, drop-sets are an efficient way to boost mass, strength and endurance. However, don't over-strain yourself as you will increase the risk of an injury. You can begin with 5 to 6 reps until you lose weight.
While doing this, you need to ensure sure you're are lifting a maximum weight that is manageable, otherwise you will not gain anything or injure yourself.
Perform the five to six reps twice in a row until you can reach up to 10 reps in total. Drop sets are effective in boosting muscle mass and strength.
4. Reduce The Amount of Cardiovascular Workout Exercises
In-order to preserve lean muscle mass limit the amount of cardiovascular exercises. Too much cardio can make you lose more weight and therefore make you look thinner.
5. Eat More Proteins
It's essential to closely monitor your diet carefully. Remember, its essential to ensure the body has sufficient proteins from the foods that you're consuming everyday.
When you realize, you're not eating enough you can cover the shortfall by taking good quality bodybuilding supplements such as a whey protein powder shakes.
For instance, whey is a great supplement powder used by many bodybuilders and weightlifters to build on their strength and muscles
6. Get a Good Nights Sleep
There's nothing complicated about building muscle. It's all about your diet, exercise, and rest. You must find a way of balancing the three if you want to experience the full benefits. Sleep deprivation can have a huge negative effect on muscle growth and recovery.
Remember, when you've worked out, you need to rest and recuperate for your muscles to recover from the stress and strain of applied to to the muscle tissue. For this reason, your rest time period should be between 7 to 8 hours each night.

26 Oct Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Drug Addiction
The media began covering Post Traumatic Stress Disorder when veterans were returning back from the Iraq war. For a while, PTSD was considered to be the untasked about subject. However, addiction treatment centers are beginning to see more and more cases of people having PTSD and taking an illegal substance to self-medicate.
Many people that have PTSD suffer from extreme anxiety, nightmares, flashbacks and bad memories. People often wonder how someone gets PTSD. Here are some reasons why a person may get post-traumatic stress disorder:
• Witnessing a traumatic event (many survivors of 9/11 witnessed the collapse of the world trade centers)
• Feeling powerless in your situation
• Military Combat
• Childhood abuse and trauma
• Natural disasters such as hurricanes, earthquakes and tornadoes
Unfortunately, a lot of people that suffer from PTSD self-medicate themselves with alcohol or another drug. Once a person gets addicted to a drug, they often need detox and rehabilitation to get themselves sober again. PTSD is becoming more popular today because people understand what it is exactly. Years ago, people did not understand what PTSD even was. For a while, people vent thought that veterans were making up their feelings in order to collect a disability check from the government. However, today PTSD has been studied enough for doctors to know that it truly exists.
Most men suffer from PTSD because they were in a war or because they were performing service in which their life was in danger. Women however usually suffer from PTSD because they were sexually abused. If your PTSD is giving you nightmares, sleeplessness, angry outbursts and aggressive behavior, it is important to seek the help of a professional.
It is a fact that when people use alcohol and drugs to medicate themselves, PTSD gets worse and more severe. A lot of people that have PTSD and use drugs have violent outbursts with family members or experience themselves drinking and driving while consuming alcohol. There are a lot of arrests that have to do with domestic violence as well.

Industrial Equipment Refurbishment
Drilling equipment is perhaps the most important machinery component to the mining process. Mining is incredibly demanding on mechanical tools and equipment, particularly at the drilling and crushing stages. Equipment refurbishment is an important part of the entire mining process. Mining encompasses a wide range of procedures and drilling processes, since different resources require different extraction methods. Equipment refurbishment is important for these machines to keep running at top condition and accomplish the enormous task of deep drilling. Equipment refurbishment is a part of the mining process for several reasons. The integrity of existing machinery is tested by time and elements in the drilling and crushing processes of the mining industry. These procedures include maintenance and upkeep procedures, as well as modification and fabrication procedures for expanding existing machinery into new component capabilities.
Core drilling equipment is necessary for mining precious resources, such as coal for fuel and diamonds for trading. This type of machinery bores deep holes into the earth, in order to extract elements which are buried deep underground. Equipment refurbishment is often necessary for these machines to remain in pristine condition and accomplish the enormous task of drilling through rock, granite, and other hard substances. Equipment refurbishment should be a part of regular upkeep and routine maintenance procedures for this type of machinery. Core holes are drilled for the purpose of establishing a bolt or pipeline for other parts of the mining process. Core hole drilling should be considered a precision task and taken on with caution. Core hole drilling equipment refurbishment may be needed to ensure that the specific standards of each project are addressed appropriately. These holes may be necessary for large tunnel supports or small pipelines, but they are all necessary for the main mining processes.
Oil drilling equipment is also often subject to equipment refurbishment procedures. Oil drilling takes a tremendous toll on the machinery which takes on this part of the mining task. Oil is derived from deep within the earth and must be extracted from large diggers and wells. Drilling equipment refurbishment is often done in stages, since this particular type of equipment is incredibly large and can take on heavy drilling duties. Equipment refurbishment may apply to any of the drilling machinery parts or components, and should be accomplished by professionals familiar with this type of machinery and each task performed. Oil drilling and petroleum pumping machine components should be considered at the top of the priority list for drilling equipment refurbishment professionals. These machine components are the most likely to have taken the most wear and tear in the mining process. Equipment refurbishment is also important to keep pace with environmental efforts to promote the safest drilling practices possible. Simple modifications on existing machinery can mean the difference between safe and hazardous drilling procedures.
Equipment refurbishment applies to other types of machinery, such as rock drilling equipment. Rock drilling equipment requires strong blades and heavy duty machinery to penetrate the hardest substance encountered in the mining industry. Equipment refurbishment of these machines typically involves motor repair, energy upgrades, blade sharpening, and turbine twister repair or fabrication. Mining equipment often evolves with changes in all aspects of the industry, which can range from environmentalist efforts, expansion in production, and consumer demand. Rock can be the barricade between many extracted materials, so this equipment may need modifications for different projects. Equipment refurbishment of this type of drilling equipment may require large tools with enormous capacities to adjust the pressure of the drill or the turn of the rotary devices. These tools are capable of drilling into large pieces of rock without compromising the safety of the mining site or the functioning capabilities of the machinery.
Equipment refurbishment is not only required for heavy duty tasks. It may also be required for less evasive mining task machinery, such as water drilling equipment. Hydraulic equipment may have heavier pressure drilling capacities, but the material is less damaging to the actual drilling equipment. Equipment refurbishment of hydraulic or water drilling mine machinery should be conducted by professionals familiar with every stage and component of water mining, so that specific modifications or fabrications can be made for optimal production. Oil is often drilled in off shore drilling sites, because it is found deep underneath the surface of the earth. Oil that is drilled from underwater sites must be carefully monitored to ensure the safety of the ecosystem and its life forms. Equipment refurbishment must be completed prior to possible malfunction, requiring maintenance and modification professionals to be well versed in the most up to date machinery procedures.
Borehole drilling machinery is large enough to drill a significant hole into the ground. Borehole drilling equipment typically completes its task by a rotary mechanism or an air percussion technique. Both of these types of drilling require equipment refurbishment for the various environmental and affective impacts of borehole drilling. Equipment refurbishment that is completed by professionals familiar with these processes leaves the mining industry leaders secure in their machining tasks. These machines are used to drill holes for wells or water sources. They must be precise so that pressurized piping and tunnel sizes are compatible and water can be safely extracted for consumption. Equipment refurbishment may mean specifically modifying the existing machinery to the needs of each project. Technicians should be savvy in fabrication and machine modification procedures for each component of the borehole drilling machine. Equipment refurbishment may also be necessary to keep up with ever changing policy requirements for environmental standards.
Equipment refurbishment for directional drilling machinery is important to make sure that holes are drilled specifically to the planned details, and not skewed to to equipment error. Equipment refurbishment is often necessary to keep drill blades in tact and on target for each and every project. Directional drilling is done underground in holes and tunnels that are not vertical. These may be necessary to distribute irrigation, derive resources, and direct water piping for a variety of purposes. These include farming and human consumption. North American mining equipment manufacturers rely upon equipment refurbishment professionals to service their machinery for future project needs. Directional drilling procedures are different for each project. Whether drilling is conducted for irrigation, oil, or other purposes, directions must be determined accurately and according to the plans to make sure that only the intended site is disrupted. The safety of the drilled tunnels is dependent upon the stability of the directional drilled tunnels. Equipment refurbishment on this type of machinery can keep the equipment running as if it were newly manufactured. Often, each job needs specific modifications to some of the parts of the total machine to ensure that the tunnels are drilled to project specifications.
Crushing equipment, like its drilling counterpart, is a difficult process that has strong impacts on the machinery which conducts the crushing tasks. Crushing requires incredibly strong machinery with heavy duty task capability to reduce these hard materials into smaller, more usable pieces. Equipment refurbishment is necessary to keep production running and reduce raw mined materials. Rock crusher equipment must be refurbished often to make sure that machinery is running with the most efficiency possible. Equipment refurbishment of crushing machines is an important part of the maintenance process as well as for the modification of existing machinery to expand production capabilities. Crushed material must be refined through a variety of stages, and crushing machines come in a variety of capacities for each stage. Equipment refurbishment can allow these machines to switch tasks from material reduction to refinement, with component adaptation and part modification by equipment refurbishment professionals.
Crusher equipment and drilling equipment refurbishment is an important part of pristine production. Mining is a dangerous and important part of the trade industry, and many of our natural resources must be derived through this process. Mining equipment refurbishment is a part of the mining evolution process, enabling environmental and safety concerns to be addressed without compromising optimal production for manufacturers and miners alike. Industry professionals agree that equipment refurbishment offsets the cost of new equipment production, and promotes the integrity of existing machinery for the time tested traditional mining equipment pieces. Mining equipment refurbishment can be a simple process for existing machinery or it may require more complicated procedures for larger equipment.
Mining equipment refurbishment requires a knowledgeable and experienced machinery task force. The manufacturers often rely upon the fabrication and modification professionals in the mining equipment industry to keep their existing and recently produced machines in working order for future projects. Manufacturing of mining equipment is incredibly expensive, especially when only one or two parts require modification. Mining equipment refurbishment is important to keep production running at top capacity for all types of mined materials. Whether water drilling, or hard rock drilling, equipment is subject to environmental and element impacting, and must be taken into consideration each time equipment refurbishment efforts are made. Often, modifications are made with the most optimal production capacities in mind for future projects. Equipment refurbishment can keep mining equipment of all types in top shape for optimal production, to address environmental concerns, and to maintain safety measures.

2018, "Signaling by Early Stage Startups: US Government Research Grants and Venture Capital Funding", Journal of Business Venturing, January 33(1): 35 - 51.
Abstract: Entrepreneurship researchers have documented that early stage startups rely on signals to demonstrate the transitions in their identities that they must make when they cross organizational life cycle thresholds. However, early stage startups in emerging industry contexts tend to have few good signals upon which to rely. Public agencies can play a valuable role in this process, but prior research has not sufficiently examined how startups effectively leverage this support. In this paper, therefore, we develop a framework to investigate the role that signals can play for early stage startups when they win prestigious government research grants. We test this framework in the setting of the emerging U.S. clean energy sector and find that in comparison to a matched sample of clean energy startups that have not won prestigious research grants, startups with these grants were 12 percent more likely to acquire subsequent venture capital (VC) funding. Another significant result is that the value of this signaling is greater for startups that have fewer patents. The important contribution of this finding is that it shows that signaling has the potential to redistribute benefits rather than just provide an additional accrual of advantages to the already high status actors. Together these results highlight the advantages for startups in emerging industries of pursuing signaling strategies with public agencies when they attempt to make important transitions through the stages of their organizational life cycles.

2016, "Corporate Political Strategy in Contested Regulatory Environments", Strategy Science, December 1(4): 272 - 284.
Abstract: We examine how firms strategically manage opposition from organized stakeholders who participate in regulatory agency policy-making processes. As stakeholder opposition in regulatory agency hearings increases, we argue that firms invest more in developing counter-balancing support from elected politicians who oversee regulators, and more so when regulators are less experienced or are closer to re-appointment dates. We find robust statistical support for our predictions in a statistical analysis of financial campaign contributions to state politicians by firms in the U.S. electric utility industry during the period 1999 to 2010. Our findings contribute to nonmarket strategy research by providing evidence that firms respond to contested regulatory environments by cultivating support from elected political institutions, contingent on the degree of regulator sensitivity to political and stakeholder pressures.

2016, "The Role of Governance Systems and Rules in Wind Energy Development: Evidence from Minnesota and Texas", Business and Politics, December 18(3): 337 - 365.
Abstract: Wind energy presents significant opportunity to provide a series of public goods. Drawing on the ideas of J.Q. Wilson and E. Ostrom, we compare options to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of deploying wind energy in two U.S. states, Texas and Minnesota. Texas outperformed Minnesota in deploying wind energy technology despite Minnesota's ample wind and other natural advantages. We argue that it outperformed Minnesota because of a more fitting governance system and rules for determining (i) boundaries, (ii) cost and benefit allocation (iii) conflict resolution, and (iv) rule revision. The price Minnesota paid for its choice of governance system and series of rules was indecision and delay. Our approach sheds an alternative yet overlooked lens upon the topic of wind energy development by focusing on how the concentration of power and authority in the hands of a few dominant public and private elites can lead to the successful deployment of a complex renewable technology under particular circumstances.

2016, "Motivations for Corporate Political Activity", Advances in Strategic Management, May 34: 161 - 191.
Abstract: Campaign contributions are typically seen as a strategic investment for firms recent empirical evidence, however, has shown few connections between firms' political investments and regulatory or performance improvements, prompting researchers to explore agency-based explanations for corporate politics. By studying intra-firm campaign contributions of CEOs and political action committees (PACs), we investigate these two hypotheses surrounding public politics and demonstrate that strategic and agency-based motivations may hold simultaneously. Exploiting transaction-level data, with over 6.8 million observations, we show that (i) when PACs give to specific candidates, executives give to the same candidates, especially those who are strategically important to the firm and (ii) when executives give to candidates who are not strategically important, PACs give to the same candidates potentially due to agency problems within the firm.

2016, "Bridging Qualitative and Quantitative Methods in Organizational Research: Applications of Synthetic Control Methodology in the U.S. Automobile Industry", Organization Science, March 27(2): 462 - 482.
Abstract: We assess the utility of synthetic control, a recently developed empirical methodology, for applications in organizational research. Synthetic control acts as a bridge between qualitative and quantitative research methods by enabling researchers to estimate treatment effects in contexts with small samples or few occurrences of a phenomenon or treatment event. The method constructs a counterfactual of a focal firm, or other observational unit, based on an objectively-weighted combination of a small number of comparable but untreated firms. By comparing the firm's actual performance to its counterfactual replica without treatment, synthetic control estimates, under certain assumptions, the magnitude and direction of treatment effects. We illustrate and critique the method in the context of the U.S. auto industry by estimating (a) the effect of government intervention in Chrysler's management from 2009-2011 on its sales volumes, and (b) the impact of Toyota's 2010 acceleration crisis' on Camry sales.

2014, "The Impact of Consumer Advocates on Regulatory Policy in the Electric Utility Sector", Public Choice, October 161(1): 157 - 181.
Abstract: We examine the effect of consumer advocate participation in administrative procedures on regulatory policy. We use a unique panel database of rate reviews conducted for U.S. electric utilities from 1980 to 2007 to assess how state consumer advocates affect Public Utility Commission decisions on utilities' allowed financial returns and rate structures. We find first that utilities experience fewer rate reviews in states with consumer advocates, consistent with utilities strategically postponing requests for rate increases. Second, after controlling for observed and unobserved state characteristics, we find that PUCs in states with consumer advocates permit a return on equity that is on average 0.45 percentage points lower than states without advocates equivalent to a 7.9 million (3.7%) reduction in average utility operating income, all else equal. Third, consumer advocates are associated with lower residential rates relative to other customer classes. Our findings provide statistical support for the thesis that institutionalizing interest group representation in administrative procedures is one way for legislatures indirectly to influence agency-determined policies.

2014, "Strategic Rationale for Responding to Extra-Jurisdictional Regulation: Evidence from Firm Adoption of Renewable Power in the US", Strategic Management Journal, May 35(5): 629 - 651.
Abstract: It is well documented that firms respond to regulations in their home jurisdictions. We present hypotheses that firms also respond to regulations in jurisdictions where they do not operate. We examine renewable-power provision in the U.S. electrical utility sector between 2001 and 2006, and find firms adopt more renewable-power generation when their peers (i.e., firms in the same regulatory jurisdiction) face greater renewable-power standards in other jurisdictions. The underlying mechanism is that forward-looking firms assess when extra-jurisdictional regulations foreshadow regulatory changes where they operate. Our analyses support this mechanism versus plausible alternatives. We demonstrate firms acting strategically to respond to extrajurisdictional regulations and show the central conduit motivating this response is the extrajurisdictional footprint of firms operating in the same jurisdiction as a focal firm.

2013, "Campaign Contributions over CEOs' Careers", American Economic Journal-Applied Economics, July 5(3): 170 - 188.
Abstract: Individuals dominate money in politics, accounting for over 90% of campaign contributions, yet studies of drivers of individuals' giving are scarce. We collected data on all contributions made between 1991 and 2008 by all 2,198 people who were S&P 500 CEOs for anyportion of that interval. We exploit variation in leadership status over these individuals' careers to identify that being an S&P 500 CEO causes a 4,000 or 131% jump per election-cycle inpersonal giving. While some fraction of CEOs' contributions can be attributed to long-standing preferences, the striking changes in behavior cannot be explained by these factors alone.

2012, "Information Asymmetries and Regulatory Decision Costs: An Analysis of U.S. Electric Utility Rate Changes 1980-2000", Journal of Law, Economics & Organization, February 28(1): 127 - 162.
Abstract: We argue that information asymmetries between regulators and firms increase the administrative decision costs of initiating new policies due to the costs of satisfying evidentiary or 'burden of proof' requirements. We further contend that regulators with better information about regulated firms - i.e. with lower information asymmetries - have lower decision costs, thereby facilitating regulator policy-making. To empirically test our predictions, we examine the relationship between regulatory informational environments and changes to regulated rates for all investor-owned electric utilities from 1980 to 2000. We exploit several natural sources of variation in the informational environments of U.S. state utility regulators. These stem from the prior experiences and administrative resources of regulators observable policy decisions of other regulatory agencies for a given utility and differences in procedural regulations pertaining to rate increases and decreases. Our results suggest that as regulators acquire more information about utility operations, including from experience in office, they are more likely to enact rate decreases and less likely to implement rate increases.

2011, "Profiting from Environmental Regulatory Uncertainty", California Management Review, November 54(1): 145 - 165.
Abstract: We offer two integrated strategies managers can use in the face of regulatory uncertainty vis-à-vis the natural environment. As integrated strategies, they both recognize non-market forces while taking into account market realities. Advocating for Pragmatic, Progressive Policy enables firms to shape future policy around existing environmental strengths this strategy tips the scale towards a winning position by raising competitors' costs when competitors have yet to develop identical competencies. Systematically Embracing Advancing Regulation enables firms to satisfy activists who would place pressure on policymakers to force firms to conform to higher environmental standards in other jurisdictions this strategy tips the scale towards a winning position by allowing managers to adapt to coming regulation at their own pace while leveraging market competencies. We begin by presenting a brief framework that assembles the building blocks necessary to justify when, how, and why our strategies reduce vulnerabilities to regulatory uncertainty. We then present four case studies that highlight how some firms have implemented these strategies. In the analysis of these cases, we illustrate the conditions under which some have been successful at mitigating regulatory uncertainty and some have not.

2009, "Green Management Matters Regardless", Academy of Management Perspectives, August 23(3): 17 - 26.
Abstract: Today, it is undeniable that a new enthusiasm exists for green management, not only among managers but among business school students, though this enthusiasm is just starting to be tapped in a more formal way in curriculum, instructional materials, and faculty careers and advancement. Green management matters for many reasons, but fundamentally it matters because people expect managers to use resources wisely and responsibly protect the environment minimize the amounts of air, water, energy, minerals, and other materials found in the final goods people consume recycle and reuse these goods to the extent possible rather than drawing on nature to replenish them respect nature's calm, tranquility, and beauty and eliminate toxins that harm people in the workplace and communities. From a moral or normative perspective the obligation for green management is absolute, and whether it "pays" to be green is only partly relevant.

At this point everyone and their mother interested in superhero comics must have stumbled upon one article or another railing against writer Nick Spencer and his "sacrilegious" treatment of Captain America aka Captain Hydra for his fans, for Nazi Steve for his friends.
Never mind the fact that a lot of the complaints coming from people who consider "making Captain America a Nazi because Trump" highlights everything that is wrong with the modern identity politics phenomenon, it also highlights a fact within the comic book industry:
The fact that no one seems to actually be reading these books.
Now, this is not a big shocker for anyone. If half the people complaining about certain changes to comic book characters, two thirds of these books wouldn't be selling as little copies as they are, always teetering at the brink of cancellation.
This leads me to my second point: if I'm wrong and people are actually reading these books before complaining about them, then the education systems all around the world must be worse than they are reported to be, because it implies that everyone failed basic reading comprehension.
I will not pretend that I have read the book. I'm currently back in that phase where I hate all comics for the third time this year. But I do know people who have read the book and have shared certain panels from the book. Based on just anecdotal knowledge and a couple of frames here and there, I know that the Captain Hydra story line is about making a point. That point is not that being a Nazi is awesome. It is about slaughtering a sacred cow, the sacred cow that is Steve Rogers: perfect human being.
In many ways this was Marvel's downfall right there when they let Nick Spencer do this book. Marvel Comics has spend decades pushing Captain America as the perfect human being that is always morally correct by having him always be on the "right side" of every single argument and making him a perfect moral person in every movie and adaptation. Once you have done this and turned him into a Nazi, you shouldn't be surprised that at least half of your audience will think that you are sincere.
This isn't Marvel's problem alone though, far from it. There persists this notion among students of literary studies and similar fields that every writer immediately agrees with everything all of his characters say because "they put something of themselves in there".
And lastly… this is just perpetuating the problem, if you think about it. I haven't read the book either and here I am making arguments for why people arguing from a position of ignorance are dumb. Maybe I just have a thing right now for self-demonstrating pieces, but if we really want to be taken seriously in our discourse about anything than we have to be intellectually honest enough to actually try to know what the hell we are talking about.

Hi! My name is Molly Pfaff, and I am a Summer 2017 Talent Acquisition intern seated in Islandia, NY. I am going to be a junior at the College of the Holy Cross, where I am a Pre-Business English major. This is my first internship experience, and I was attracted to CA when I interviewed here and was introduced to the culture of employees, and the common values shared across the company.
This summer I get to sit with the recruiting team, where I will be listening to and participating in what they do every day from requisition prepping to calling candidates and everything in between.
A "typical day" in my internship is very dynamic, which is my favorite part. While I am usually interacting with members of the Talent Acquisition team, I have also been able to have a shadow day once a week with members of the people, compensation, benefits, and mobility departments as well as work on projects with the campus & diversity and marketing teams. I usually like to include a run on the treadmill in the Fitness Center (or a trip to Chipotle) in my daily routine as well.
While every aspect of my internship experience so far has been nothing but valuable and enjoyable, my favorite part has been meeting and learning from such talented people who are always willing to answer questions and help out. The DNA Mission is a model that CA uses to define the company and its traits are those that employees strive to live by, and is a significant part of the company. My favorite aspect of the DNA Mission is the 'collaborative' piece. I have found that all the different departments and teams I have been exposed to overlap with each other, and work together to innovate and produce rewarding results for the overall organization.
That being said, I think one quality that people need to be successful here is drive, as well as cohesiveness. Throughout my time at CA I have come to realize that a common thread amongst the people who work here is that they are driven to establish contemporary and innovative ways to help the company succeed as a whole.
A piece of advice I would give to a candidate coming to interview at CA would be to be yourself and not be afraid to ask questions to whomever you are lucky enough to meet. While CA is a huge company, many people don't know much about it before they get involved. I would suggest doing your research beforehand, because you will be surprised and impressed with what you find. Just because you've never heard of CA prior to your interview doesn't mean that they don't have great resources, big-name clients, successful departments, and enthusiastic employees. In my experience this summer I have encountered all those things and learned about far more than just the corporate world.
If you're ready to bring what you bring to an internship at CA, learn more and search our intern positions here, or see if we're coming to your campus.

You want to explore the backgrounds and underlying structures of characters and typography, you want to learn how to design type, you want a better understanding of font production and the available software. In that case we recommend you to follow the expert class Type design.
The expert class Type Design given by Frank Blokland examines the 'secrets' of contemporary representations of the Latin script (capital, roman and cursive) in detail. The underlying harmonic, proportional and rhythmic structures of characters and the typographical conventions and rules derived from them are analyzed and dissected.
In the first module of the course this acquired knowledge is combined with practical instruction on the use of font production software, which finally results in the creation of a digital type design, a revival. In module 2 each student designs his own font.
The first lesson is scheduled on November the 16th, 2016.
Subscription at least 1 week before the start of the lessons.
– 2016: November 16th, December 7th
– 2017: January 11th, February 1st, February 22nd, March 8th, March 29th, April 19th, May 17th, June 14th.

text: Hello, I am new to the whole hacking/homebrew idea, but after I was able to get the Homebrew Channel through the Twilight Hack, things are pretty good. However, I have a problem that needs resolving. As many of you know, a form of Visual Boy Advance( the GBA/GBC Emulator) can be used in the Wii Homebrew Channel. I downloaded the newest version of VBA for Homebrew Channel from wiibrew.org. Its called "Visual Boy Advance Version 1.7.2 Port to Wii". VBA works fine in the Homebrew Channel. It loads my ROMs perfectly. However, some of my ROMs have issues. Pokemon Firered for instance, is 16MB, so it takes a little while for the emulator to load it. Not a problem at all. But, after you press start at the title screen of Pokemon Firered, it shows a message: "The 1M sub-circuit board is not installed." Then the game continues on with no problem, until I try to save in game (like you would on a real GBA). It says "Save error, Please exchange the backup memory". On VBA on the Hombrew Channel, upon choosing Pokemon Firered ROM, it says: 16MB (128Mbits) Whenever I save the game using the VBA Pause Menu, it always says "save OK!" However, if I exit the channel or ever try to play Pokemon Firered again, I must start all over with the same "sub-cicuit board" message and in game save error. I have noticed, that all of my ROMs that are 16MB (128Mbits) will not allow me to save my progress or load it. Whenever I exit a game that is 128Mbits, I must always start over again upon loading it. I have been told that some GBA games (Pokemon Firered/LeafGreen), save in Flash 128K instead of Flash 64K. This is the problem, I need to be able to save/load my games fro ROMs that use 128K for saving. I can fix this problem on the computer version of VBA. I just go to options --> save type --> Falsh 128K. Then it works! However, I cannot do this on the Wii version. (as you know) If there is an IPS Patch that allows me to do this for use on Wii, please tell me. If anyone has a solution, please let me know. Your guess is better than mine.

Chelsea are looking to beat the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United and Bayern Munich to the signature of Borrussia Dortmund talented midfielder Christian Pulistic, according to reports.
Dortmund signed Pulistic in the February of 2015 as a 16-year-old star and after showing so much prospect with the B team of the Bundesliga side, he was promoted to the senior team of the side the following year.
Since his promotion to first team, the 19-year-old star has seen his stock ever on the increase with consistent and impressive displays. He has featured in 21 League games for the Signa Iduna Park outfit this term and has scored three goals and provided three assists.
His giant strides has not gone unnoticed in London as Chelsea who are resigned to selling Willian and Eden Hazard in the summer are already on the lookout for players that will replace them. Pulistic has now emerged as a priority target for Chelsea and they will make offers for him in summer, according to the daily Mail.
The report has further claimed that the Germain outfit will want nothing less than €90m to part with the rising star.
Liverpool were heavily linked with a move for the star back in 2016 and they are likely to return with an offer for him. Manchester United and Bayern Munich have also been strongly linked but Chelsea are apparently front runners for his signature as it is given that they will use Michy Batshuayi as makeweight in the potential deal.


text: I've read around about Pioneers and some Samsung SATA DVD burners, but the ones that you can hack w/ custom firmware and the like, don't seem to be made anymore. Is ebay my only option for these drives? Is there a current drive on the market that will backup 360 DVDs? I've searched and searched, but can't find anything that is supposed to work other than the Pioneer DVRs that aren't sold on newegg, tigerdirect, or amazon anymore. Any help? I would like to know if this burner, a Pioneer DVR-215DBK would work in backing up my games. I haven't been able to find any helpful info on it other that some people have been buying it on forums and such.

Hello and welcome to my website.
I am Clive Brocklehurst and I live with my wife Caroline on the rugged North Devon Coast on the Hartland Peninsula.
I paint watercolour pictures, create works in glass and write my books selling them under the banner of White Hare

They are sent via this website a random gift of kindness and caring for someone you think just might need or appreciate something beautiful and special. £15.00 including post and packing with a special message from you to the recipient.

Having a representational style my paintings are inspired by local scenery and stories of myths and legends; illustrating the images that stories create in my mind.
I started painting white hares many years ago and they have been a constant inspiration. Hares hold a siginificance in cultures throughout history and around the world.

Stained Glass
A long held passion of mine I started making stained glass panels and installations over 20 years ago.

It is made using nearly 40 pieces of individually cut and ground hand blown and artglass that is all then joined with lead runs and soldered to make a timeless robust piece that hangs in any window.

Just yesterday, I caught wind of a very unfortunate situation – Dizennio Floral located in Vaughan was forced to close their doors. My heart breaks for all of the couples affected by this. The abrupt closing of this floral/decor studio is shocking. Even more shocking is the fact that they have kept the deposits from couples who booked with them, some I imagine months and months ago. On top of the list when planning a wedding is booking your essential vendors – this includes flowers/decor. I can imagine the anxiety, stress and sadness that these couples are currently feeling.
A couple of year's ago, a similar situation occurred in this area with a wedding venue. Couples were left in a complete panic searching for somewhere to hold their wedding, some on extremely short notice (I'm talking weeks people!). Logistically, these couples were faced with a big challenge. The task to find a location they liked, that still had openings available (fingers crossed on their scheduled day), that their hired vendors could adapt to AND ensuring all of the guests were informed of the changes, was an immense undertaking. Being a planner, I was on the phone right away to get as much information as possible for the couples left in this tragic position!
If you, or someone you know, is affected by the closing of Dizennio Floral, please get in touch. I have posted on Facebook and Twitter offering to help these couples in any way I can. My help starts with a complimentary bridal bouquet and that is just the beginning. Imaging what these brides are feeling right now completely breaks my heart.
Rest assured, I promise to help you turn this situation around, forget it ever happened, and ensure your wedding is even better!
Spread the news lovelies – JPE is on the ground and ready to help!

Twins are not hard in itself to take care of. It's finding facilities in the outside world that make it difficult. Here is a list of my favorite twin favorite places that I will update as time goes on.
- Nordstrom, Fashion Valley in San Diego. Now, I love Nordstrom for many reasons, their amazing customer service for number one, but now that I am a mom I love their Women's Lounge! A separate room away from the stalls, with comfy seating and a large area for littles to run around. Now had I known this was the case, I would have brought in a blanket so that one little could lay on the ground and play while I fed the other, but laying them on the couch with me blocking them worked fine.
- Monterey Bay Aquarium, Monterey. Talk about making life easier. I don't breastfeed, but seeing the 'baby room' here definitely made me wish again that nursing had worked out for us. Rocking, reclining soft leather chairs, separated by half walls, facing a screen with serene ocean scenes and soft music. PERFECT. Just one little thing, the changing table was still in the bathroom in another room. There was a sink in the baby room and counter, so I just wish they had put a changing table in there, but perhaps they didn't for sanitary reasons. Anyway, still amazing with two! When the boys are older there is a small play area too in the baby room.
- Westfield Mall, Palm Desert. I am sure most of the Westfield Malls have lots of seating areas which are great for tired shoppers I assume, but also nice for laying one boy down while feeding the other. My main concern when I am out with my boys is not making one sit in the car seat or stroller for so long, so anytime one little can be out while I am feeding the other, it's a great place.
More to come as I discover them. Unfortunately most places are not very easy for me and two babies, but I go out as much as possible so I am bound to find them all! Places that are the worst… No changing area available at all! When we are all out together I can just take one little to the car to change (which is clearly obnoxious, but possible), but if it's just me, I am not packing everything up to go change, then come back. I will just leave. You probably won't get my business, and as annoying as it is to my husband, I like to spend money.

Veteran football coach Javi Valdes confirmed Monday he is headed to coach at Miami Killian.
Valdes is leaving Coral Reef after one season in which the Barracudas went 4-6 to join a Cougars' program that missed the playoffs for the first time in four years this past season.
"Killian is a top-notch program based on tradition and recent success so I felt it was a no-brainer for me and my family to get in that mix," Valdes said. "It's a team in an elite district. There's a lot of work to do, but there are great kids in the building and I think we have to establish our program and see what happens."
Valdes, 33, coached at Mater Academy the two seasons prior to his stint at Coral Reef, leading the Lions to a 14-7 record over those two years and the school's first playoff appearance.
Former Killian coach Cory Johnson recently stepped down after his team fell just short of the playoffs losing in the District 16-8A playoff tiebreaker to Southridge. Before that, the Cougars made the playoffs three consecutive seasons – a run that included two regional finals appearances.
Prior to his head coaching stints at Coral Reef and Mater Academy, Valdes was the offensive coordinator at Southridge, Homestead, Belen and Archbishop Carroll.
